Microsoft Corp, Chevron Texaco and 20 Stock and 3 ETF Top Picks (Mar 10-16)

It would be his top pick in the telco space. It has done some interesting things including investing in healthcare. Also it spun off Telus International. The CEO has been buying more shares.

The telcos in the U.S. have done poorly. Buy a Canadian telco instead.

Utilities very well positioned with energy recovery.Valuable assets that are hard to replicate.Financial guidance very strong.Current share price not reflecting value.~4.5% dividend very strong - room for growth.Not much risk downside.

One of the better stocks in the energy space. Relative strength is really accelerating. Energy's a big part of the TSX, so you always want to own some. Doesn't mind adding exposure, has the defensive dividend. 

Energy shares on sale right now.Return of capital to shareholders strong business move.Economic slowdown will reduce oil prices.Would not invest in company.

Pipelines have been pulling back along with the oil price. Has owned this for many years. Pays a safe, attractive 7% dividend. 98% of cash flows are contracted. Very defensive, defensive in energy. Operates the longest crude oil pipeline in the world. (Analysts’ price target is $58.11)

Very cheap. Huge upside potential. CEO says he'll cut capex before he'll cut the dividend. Lovely yield of 9.26%. (Analysts’ price target is $12.17)

They had inexcusable cost overruns on the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline. This is not a good time for this type of company with higher interest rates affecting the cost of borrowing. Don't buy a stock for the dividend - buy it for the growth in free cash flow.

Likes all transportation, especially this one.

Materials sector. Lumber has been in a sideways consolidation, so an entry here is timely. Add towards the bottom of the trading range. Housing market will pick up later this year or early next, and the lumber names should push higher. Relative strength starting to turn up. Yield is 1.55%. (Analysts’ price target is $139.44)

Making new highs, and there's nothing more bullish. Really positive. Yield is 0.97%.  (Analysts’ price target is $87.10)

Excellent technical trends right now.Going upwards, so why not buy more.Will be a short term watch. 

Very simple, direct route to playing bonds VGB holds more than 50% in federal bonds and the rest provincials. It pays a dividend yield of 2.8%, but much higher than 12 months ago. Yields are up. If the economy enter recession, government bonds will give you capital appreciation. Warning: if inflation sees a resurgence, bonds…

Does not know what the business does - despite stock recommendation. Investment based on technical analysis. Very strong resistant point.Likes the look of chart. If stock breaks neck line - will sell.

(A Top Pick Feb 17/22, Down 5%) Lots of potential, good balance sheet. Nice dividend. FMV is excellent. Needs a catalyst. Yield is 5.3%.

Can't go wrong with Canadian banks. Powerful, compelling chart. Breaking out to new highs. In the face of talk of a recession, that's really positive. Market's seeing some really positive things. Yield is 3.76%.  (Analysts’ price target is $107.04)
